Full-Time Master's Scholarship

Scholarship overview

The scholarship is awarded in the form of a tuition fee reduction, covering up to 50% of the tuition expenses depending on your profile. The scholarship amount will be deducted from the total tuition fee prior to the commencement of the academic year 2025-2026. Although we aim to distribute scholarships fairly across different Full-Time Master's programs, in some cases, we may give priority to applicants from certain programs.
